Why is modern UI design stealing usable space by making massive paddings around everything and massive buttons?

Surely they focus on touch screens but why they ignore desktop users needs?

firefox already does what i mentioned with a few preset CSS variables. it's UI supports the same things as normal websites. it's piss easy to configure it that way.
it's ui frontend is not some arcane big brained coooder c++ 20 compilation steps nightmare microsoft horror story from 2000s where you need to set these things.

their avoidance supporting of a 'dense' UI proportions option is entirely a product/UX choice rather than some big development constraint.

it looks good in figma to give user exactly 2 trendy and modern looking options - cripple tier padding or even more cripple tier padding, switched semi-automatically when a touch screen is present, not 3 options with a normal mouse using peoples one (that would be a lot of options).

by the way the option is still there, just tucked away behind a hidden setting for like 3 years now, and causes no visual breakage when enabled. it's just not part of their 'product vision' to have it.
>>
>>459664
and to further confirm, it works on windows, linux and macos setups with very different combinations of non-'default' dpi and system font size settings, so that's not an excuse either

Why did they make it a hidden setting?
Fucking faggots. They want to always remove useful things for power user.

Color accents on black are just *chefs kiss*. I love the orange stripe on the old Dell business laptops.

Nowadays it's either candy colored plastic Celeron machines or "gaming" laptops with 50 watts of RGB lights. The red stripe is class, it's subtlety.

wheels on many German steam trains were red to make it easier for safety inspectors to detect cracks and metal fatigue.

Red is passion, desire, intensity, danger - domesticated in accents, drawing a clear line.

Don't know if anyone has any info on this but I love zooming into 600dpi scans of magazines and album covers, and was wondering if there was a filter I could use in something like GIMP to apply to high-resolution digital images I have saved (bonus points if you know the album of picrel)
>>
>>459579
A filter do what? A filter to remove the rosette or apply it to different images?
>>
>>459592
apply it to different images, but very subtle and small so you can only see it clearly when you zoom in like 500%, not like those shitty half tone filters people slap onto images
>>
My first thought is to actually just halftone your image at some really really really small dot size.
>>
>>459579
look up tutorials for "halftone" and "print rosette digitally" and other things along those lines. Plenty of tutorials and photoshop actions. Explore it until you can achieve the desired output.

Sure, let's erase at least 2 centuries of history because a couple reddit faggots get mad that the flag does not have 4 angles.
What about you go shit on the swiss square flag? Go take a shit on El Salvador flag and its 189:325 ratio. Change the ratio of the USA flag (10:19 ratio is used only in 3 other countries).

When I was in El Salvador it was common to see the civil version of the flag flying upside down because they were so illiterate they couldn't even tell if the letters were right side up, let alone read them. Same with the popular " Ace" brand beer; the label was an image of the playing card and you'd regularly get bottles where someone who didn't know which way the other lettering went would just guess and get it wrong.

The current flag of Nepal is better in that regard. You can have the most ignorant illiterate unschooled nepalese and the flag shape would still be the cue so the flag is not upside down ever...

Probably not the most appropriate place for this question but I am looking for a gift for person with art degree background who wants to venture (try out) tattoo design.

The person is not using a pc or ipads/galaxytabs

What would be the best digital sketchbook/epaper for doodling beginners with solid styluses. Price range up to 500 buckaroonees or even cheaper with no additional caveats like OS that cant be upgraded.

It looks like the market is oversaturated with crap but I see no inclination to buy sn ipad pro for 2k

tattoo design is just drawing outlines and basically drafting.

Then you should know that at the current year of 2023 graphic design is pretty much dead. I was a professional gd for almost 10 years working in both studios and on my own and I can't really find a job anymore. It's not even because of AI to be honest, its because of how the industry works and how bad the corporate environment has become.

There's still web design, 3D and VFX/motion design(primarily 3D too) and if you want something similar or easy to transition then chose one of those but I'm not sure for how long they will be relevant themselves because of the AI which is basically a final nail in the coffin of gd. Of course there are and will be exceptions and maybe you will get lucky to find some obscure local business that needs you, but if you are young and looking for a career in the future you should stop consider becoming a graphic designer. This profession is dead.

Oops, didn't mean to post an uncropped screencap..

I love this one as well, even if it's not in the spirit of the thread. If you removed the red it could be the symbol of some machine cult.
>>
>>459607
I'd say that one definitely fits, it's poorly drawn (wtf is up with the hub radius?), poorly printed and mostly incomprehensible...that hand shape normally means "stop" or "stay back" so with the slash I guess it means that signaling to stop or avoid the spoked device with the wonky hub is prohibited?

Or is it even a device? The "hub" part also looks like a child's drawing of a cloud with rays of sunshine radiating from it, so maybe it's a warning about impending spiritual activity and how you should not tell the angels or returning messiah to "talk to the hand".
Regardless, as a former screenprinter the quality of every aspect of that label from drafting to color/ink selection to final execution makes me wince. Well done.

It's on a hydraulic hose crimping machine so I think it's supposed to say "don't stick your hand in the crimping part". Your points remain valid though!
